<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dustin May pitched two-run ball over seven innings after retiring the first 16 batters and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 on Thursday night to complete a three-game sweep.</p>
<p>The 27-year-old right-hander struck out a season-high nine and walked one in the best start of his six-year major league career. He won for the first time since June 15 against San Francisco.</p>
<p>Brooks Baldwin broke up May's perfect game bid with a single in the sixth and then chased May (5-5) with a two-run homer in the eighth, ending the longest outing of his career. May left to a standing ovation.</p>
<p>Freddie Freeman went 2 for 4 with three RBIs and a run scored. He was robbed of a homer by Mike Tauchman, who leaned over the lower wall in right field and snagged the ball in the fifth.</p>
<p>Mookie Betts homered for the first time in 21 games, his solo shot off Tyler Gilbert extending the lead to 6-0 in the seventh.</p>
<p>The White Sox fell to 9-35 on the road, setting a record for the worst start in franchise history. They were already the worst away from home in the majors.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>The Dodgers backed May with stellar defense. Left fielder Michael Conforto made a feet-first sliding catch of a sinking line drive by former Dodger Miguel Vargas leading off the fifth. Freeman snared a liner to first base leading off the sixth before Baldwin's single to right broke up May's perfect game bid.</p>
<p>Key stats</p>
<p>May retired the leadoff hitter in each of the first seven innings. The White Sox got swept by the Dodgers for the second consecutive season.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>White Sox RHP Adrian Houser (3-2, 1.90 ERA) starts Friday's series opener at Denver. Dodgers RHP Ben Casparius (6-2, 3.97) takes the mound Friday against Houston's Lance McCullers Jr.</p>
